If I Have To Die - Amy Grant

Do you have a heavy heart?

'Cause you try to play the part

Of a life that you don’t know

And now it’s scaring you?

'Cause you’re saying all the right words

But no one’s ever heard

The voice that’s crying out

Inside your heart…

Saying, please don’t make me die for you

I’ve gotta make you see

That there’s a part of me

I never want to lose

But if I have to die for you

Somehow let me see

That you’re more than words--

I need a glimpse of you

But it sunk the church again

And the habit to pretend

Is stronger than you knew

Look how it’s ruling you

But it’s friends you try to blame

Oh, I’ve done it just the same

'Cause it’s easier than answering to Him

You think that they’re playing games

And leave and never act the same

And you don’t want a part of their show

Yes, you think there’s something more

But not inside these holy doors

Well, what are you looking for?

Yes, we have to die for Him

That’s the struggle, don’t you see?

'Cause it’s the hardest thing

You’ll ever have to do

But no, it’s not impossible;

He’s been waiting so long for you

But don’t be afraid--

He knows the pain

Because He had to do it

For you, for you…
